Spring is Springing!

It doesn't seem possible already, but spring is almost upon us! And, with a new season comes thoughts of a new wardrobe, or at least some additions to our current one. Even though many of us experienced a mild winter in many areas, we still were, and probably still are, wearing slacks, sweaters, suits, wool or fur-felt hats, dark shoes, and dark bags. But, with flowers starting to bloom, temperatures starting to rise, and, thank goodness, the sun starting to shine on a daily basis, it's time to shop for new clothes! And, of course, we highly recommend shopping for vintage. Like spring, it's "green," saving the earth's natural resources. And, rather than bowing to whatever the current trends are, vintage has its own distinction. Whether your tastes run to classic or trendy, soft pastels or bright florals, simple or elaborate, vintage fashions offer you your choice.

The Vintage Reflections sellers will help you make your own spring fashion statement with items from our shops!

It's Transition Time

While it's still technically summer, it's starting to feel like fall already. Vacations are over, kids are going back to school, and the casual sort of lifestyle we enjoy in the summer is slowly coming to an end. But, instead of bemoaning that, there is much for we vintage-loving folks to celebrate! Fall is a wonderful time to break out great vintage clothing and accessories to wear to work or school. A sheath dress and sweater for the office, a dinner suit, some nice leather handbags and shoes, fall-themed vintage jewelry.... It's a perfect season to break out your very wearable vintage wear!

We at Reflections of Vintage have some great items to help you transition from summer to fall in style!


From Alley Cats Vintage comes this quintessential work-to-dinner ensemble, a Vintage 1950s Andrew Arkin Royal Blue Two Piece Dress and Jacket, B42:
